Hi, everyone!
I'd like to pick your brains for just a moment. As part of my job, I've been creating videos about fandoms--I've interviewed a cosplayer on our Library staff, and the art director of our local arthouse cinema, among other subjects (I reached out to Lynn Zubernis, too, and am hoping to talk to her next week!)
I've been toying with the idea of doing a short piece on fanworks, but I don't want to do the typical history of, or defense of, sort of thing. That's been done a lot. I'd like to talk about it from the fan's perspective. And you are the fan community that I know and love, so I'd love it if you were able to give me a few of your thoughts.
My general idea is to interpose some quotes with images, rather than doing an interview or documentary style. I will happily credit your blogs, if you like, or just as happily keep you anonymous, if I use a quote from you. If you have a moment, please think about--
What fandom first inspired you to seek out fanworks?
What was your first fanwork?
Does your process with fic or fanart differ from your other creative endeavors?
What draws you to fanworks?
What's your favorite genre in fanworks?
These are just prompts, of course. I'm interested in anything you might like to tell me about your experiences in the fanfic & fanart worlds.
Thanks for reading! I hope to hear from you, and when the project is complete, I will post it to my blog. <3
